Tatsuya Nakadai, a blazing titan of cinema, quite simply one of the greatest on screen performers ever. Such range and emotion, he was just born to do it.

His work with Kurosawa and especially Kobayashi was solid gold.

Shine on.

My nervous first experience with the brutal 2008 film MARTYRS, on the new 4K UHD release from Eureka! Entertainment.

Join me and my running commentary/sighs and winces as I attempt to power through a tough watch that I was really dreading...

Man, engagement over on the "other" app is just dead in the water these days. Who follows me on here and why? Can we get *some* kind of conversation going on over here? What are people enjoying/working on this week?

Manning that Nezuko moment in the Entertainment District Arc of DEMON SLAYER... amazing.

After revisiting the first season of DEMON SLAYER and experiencing MUGEN TRAIN in the series version, which was quite interesting, I'm now into fresh territory with the Entertainment District Arc and man... it's wild 😆

An in-depth blu-ray review of the East German fairytale classic: HEART OF STONE. This recent release from Eureka! Entertainment is absolutely stacked and features a really unique piece of European cinema (and is already sold out! eek) in a gorgeous edition.

This shot from the new AI version of Free as a Bird from Peter Jackson's new slate of Beatles reinterpretations (they're not restorations) perfectly sums up how I feel about all of this slop & post-GET BACK, this shit is being used EVERYWHERE. At least the text is legibile....

The journey toward Conquering My Collection rolls on, as I check in with my thoughts on Wim Wenders recent film PERFECT DAYS, from the gorgeous 4K edition by MUBI.

Had an absolutely barn storming evening with a couple of friends and the new NAKED GUN. Sometimes the phrase "keep it simple, stupid" really does apply to comedy and I mostly had a great time with it. The "cold case" gag was brilliant but the snowman bit was just... what??? 😂

Seeing James Gunn doing press and going "lol the Infinity Stones were just this random thing I wrote in two minutes, I don't even know what a 'Marvel Phase' is because I'm too cool lolololol" reminds me why I don't like him and why his films almost always have a huge misstep.

After almost a year's hiatus (what???) The Douglas Fir Association returns! Myself and Matt have now completed our journey through the entire filmography of David Lynch and here is the next discussion, centered on his 1984 version of DUNE.

Loved grabbing some stills for the first video in my #LukeVsHongKongCinema series, as the transfer on Eureka Entertainment's new blu-ray of HONG KONG 1941 is superb. Though I'd share some here in a little mini thread:

The first ever installment of LUKE VS. HONG KONG CINEMA is here! I review the new Eureka! release of HONG KONG 1941, made in 1984 and starring the one and only Chow Yun-fat in an early breakout role. I absolutely loved this film and the new blu-ray looks incredible Video here: youtu.be/zPcbOYLxhak

One of the coolest villain introductions ever...

The one and only Wu Ma in HONG KONG 1941 (1984) from Eureka Entertainment's great new blu-ray release. The cinematography in this film is gorgeous and the new 4K restoration looks so good.

A deep dive into the first film in @Eurekavideo's STRANGE NEW WORLDS sci-fi box set. I review THE SILENT STAR, a 1960 "utopian adventure" to the planet Venus. Almost an hour long I discuss the film, all its extras and more!
